    This is madness. A full English (top tier) should have black pudding (apparently so-called bottom tier) on it. Madness, I tell you. And clearly a steak and kidney pudding is superior to a steak and kidney pie. It’s all to cock!

    I’ll start saying I’m Brazilian and have never gone to the British islands, but I feel like this is wrong just by beef Wellington being so low. I’ve had a homemade one and it was the best thing ever, and even before having it, it just sounds so delicious!!! Anyway besides that everything above the lowest tier are def on my list of things I’d love to try at least once, while some of the lowest tier just make me not want to try because of the idea of what bit of meat I’d be eating, I would give it a try since I do enjoy a bit of liver every know and then, and chicken hearts are really good (at least in the Brazilian BBQ style) so I could like boss sausages and other things

    Cornish pasty and welsh rarebit are god tier. Ploughman’s lunch and Lancashire hotpot are top tier. Yorkshire pudding is top tier. Haggis done right is a LOT better than you think (caveat, I was very very drunk when I tried it.)

    I know this was made to get a rise out of the Brits, but putting the amazing Scotch Egg and Pork Pie in Low Tier is a hate crime

      Thing is, while real pork pies and scotch eggs are great, lots of people might have only experienced the sad, dry, disappointments that are sold en masse in supermarkets. So in that context I can see why they rank so low.

      I noticed it was a Yougov poll and then it made sense. I’ve lost all hope of the general population being able to make any reasonable decision. This might be the worst (best?) example yet.

    It breaks my heart that apparently most of the British public have never had good black pudding.

    Haggis is boss. S+k pudding and black pudding also don’t belong on the bottom tier - particularly as black pudding is a component of full English in the top tier!

    I’d also swap Toad In The Hole with one the mince based pies above - the world needs to know about Toad In The Hole!

    Yorkshire puddings are entirely all right but they’re not top tier. That’s like saying bread is top tier, it depends entirely on what you can buy it with. No one has just the Yorkshire pudding on a plate that’s not a meal.

    Welsh rarebit though is. That should be at the top of the list, if I ever go to a cafe and they have that on the menu I will 100% definitely have it every single time.

      Yeah, why is Yorkshire Pudding at the top but Toad-in-the-hole is halfway down, when they are the same thing, except one is a proper meal and the other isn’t?

      I’ve never had a good Yorkshire pudding. They are always disappointing. It’s irrelevant how much of the rest of your sunday roast you eat with it, it always makes the rest of the roast taste worse than it would had you not wasted your time with the Yorkshire pudding.

        Wow thems fighting words. But i’m thinking you’ve perhaps been eating the wrong ones? I’ve had some truly dire ones, its not like its a recipie impossible to mess up, but most of them i’ve had are really amazing. Crispy sides, slightly soft bottom is the ideal imo, but you also can’t make up for bad ones just by the cooking, it’s also what they’re made of

      They were traditionally served as a starter. I’d have mine with a bit of jam when I was young.

    It never occured to my stupid Canadian brain that Chicken Tikka was actually British. But it makes sense in the same way that a lot of foods are “Canadian” because they were invented by immigrants adapting a dish to their new home.

        There is ongoing dispute around its origins.

        British sources have a belief and can’t objectively prove it was first made there:

        “One story purports that it was invented in the 1970s by Ali Ahmed Aslam, a Pakistani‑Scottish chef in Glasgow, who, to please a customer, added a mild tomato‑cream sauce to his chicken tikka" - Brittanica

        “Ali Ahmed Aslam, a Pakistani‑immigrant chef in Glasgow, claimed he invented chicken tikka masala in the early 1970s using canned tomato soup and spices.” - NPR

        Punjabi sources claim it had already been done at least a decade prior, also can’t be proven.

        “A recipe for ‘Shahi Chicken Masala’ appears in this 1961 Indian cookbook, predating the Glasgow claim by a decade.” - Balbir Singh’s Indian Cookery (1961)

        “My grandfather was serving chicken tikka masala to Indian heads of state as early as 1947.” - as reported by NPR from an interview with Monish Gurjal chairman of Moti Mahal (one of the first restaurants to introduce Punjabi and North Indian cuisine to the rest of the world)

    Chicken Tikka Massala

    Is this a specific exported recipe from India for the British Palate?
